Contains this le (installation guide) and all the
necessary drivers to enable the Tesla C1060. To keep
your drivers current, visit the CUDA Web site at
www.nvidia.com/cuda and download the latest drivers.

Hardware Installation
Installing the Tesla C1060 hardware involves opening up your computer.
Note: All hardware must be installed prior to installation of software.
Before You Begin
If you have an NVIDIA graphics solution, either as a discrete card or as
on-board graphics on your motherboard, you will need to uninstall the
NVIDIA graphics software driver before installing your Tesla card.
Note: This does not apply to Linux based systems. It
only applies to Windows based systems.

Tesla C1060 Installation Guide
Tesla C1060 Installation
A computer system with an available PCI Express ×16 slot is required
for the Tesla C1060. For the best system bandwidth between the host
processor and the Tesla C1060, it is recommended (but not required)
that the Tesla C1060 be installed in a PCI Express ×16 Gen2 slot.
Because there are so many different computer systems on the market,
the installation procedure for the Tesla C1060 can vary from system to
system. Use the following instructions as a guideline and consult the
documentation for clarication of computer specic procedures.
Note: It is important that all power to the computer be removed
(unplugged) before you install the computing board.
You must also discharge your body’s static electricity before
handling sensitive components. Simply touch a grounded
surface (for example, the computer chassis) before beginning.
7
Use the following procedure to install the Tesla
C1060 into your computer system.
Note: To simplify reconnections, label cables as they are disconnected.
Turn off your computer and monitor and disconnect the power cord 1.
at the outlet or at the back of your system (depending on the system).
Open your computer chassis (refer to your 2.
system documentation for details).
Remove the slot bracket for the two adjacent slots, if they are still 3.
covered. The Tesla C1060 computing board is a dual-slot board and
will take up two (2) slots. Save any hardware (such as screws) to use to
anchor the Tesla C1060 computing board after it is seated properly.
The Tesla C1060 requires two
PCI Express x16 slots.
Hardware Installation
8
Tesla C1060 Installation Guide
Connect either one 8-pin PCI Express auxiliary power connector 4.
coming from the computer power supply to the 8-pin power
connector on the top edge of the board, or connect two 6-pin PCI
Express power connectors from the power supply to the 8-pin and
6-pin power connectors on the board. The 8-pin power connector on
the board is keyed so that the 6-pin power cable will t in only one
conguration.
5. Reinstall the computer cover and any
cables that were removed earlier.
Note: If you are using two 6-pin power connectors, you
must ensure that the power supply can drive enough
power through the 6-pins to the power connector.
Connect two (2) 6-pin
PCI Express power
connectors into both
power connectors on
the edge of the board
Connect one (1) 8-pin PCI
Express power connector
on the edge of the board
6-pin power connectors

Driver Installation
This section contains the instructions to install the software drivers
within a Windows environment or within a Linux environment
Windows Installation
The required software for the Tesla C1060 includes the CUDA
drivers, which should also serve as the driver for the NVIDIA
discrete or on-board graphics processor. It is recommended that
driver installation be carried out either using the installation CD
that comes with the Tesla C1060 or by downloading the most
recent CUDA drivers available at http://www.nvidia.com/cuda.
Note: Use only drivers that are designated to support Tesla C1060.
Not all NVIDIA graphics drivers support the Tesla C1060.
Power up your computer 1.
If the LEDs on the Tesla C1060 board turn red, then you have
likely failed to connect the auxiliary PCI Express power connectors
properly. Go back to the hardware installation steps and re-check the
connectors for proper installation. Reconnect if necessary and power
up again.
The following table is a list of different possible scenarios as well as
the resulting behaviors.

Driver Installation
Click 2. Cancel each time the Windows Found New Hardware
Wizard window displays. It will display one or more times.
Insert the installation CD. The auto-install 3.
takes over and installs the drivers.
Right-click on the CD driver and select 4. AutoPlay or explore the les on
the CD and double click Launch.exe if it does not begin to auto play.
Click 5. Install Driver from the Tesla Software Installation screen.

Select 6. I accept the terms of the license agreement.
Click 7. Next.
Click 8. Next when the Welcome to the InstallShield
Wizard window displays.

Driver Installation
Click 9. Continue Anyway when the Hardware Installation warning window
displays.
This warning tells you that the drivers you are about to install have
not passed the windows logo testing (WHQL). WHQL is a Microsoft
testing procedure that is required
before Microsoft approves the
software. Clicking Continue
Anyway will not harm your system.
These drivers are currently under
WHQL testing. If you do not
see this warning, the drivers have
passed the testing requirements.
Select 10. Yes, I want to restart
my computer now.
Click 11. Finish to complete the installation and restart your system.
Note: If you are a software developer using CUDA, after
rebooting, return to the CD Software Installation window
and run Install Toolkit and then Install Samples.

Tesla C1060 Installation Guide
Once you have the
computing board
installed and verify
it is functioning, you
can customize setting
for your particular
application. Visit
www.nvidia.com for
information particular
to your application.
Control Panel Setup
Select 1. Standard or Advanced views depending on your preference for
the Control Panel view selection. The Advanced view allows the user
to select and modify application proles through the control panel.
Select 2. Do not enable SLI technology Conguration settings
are application-dependent so you will need to congure
SLI after the Tesla C1060 software has been installed
and you hve veried proper operation. Visit www.nvidia.
com for application conguration information.
